Mortal Bones

"Miss Xueluo, since Mr. Yunfei is determined not to defend the Sun family, it's useless for you to force him. Moreover, these five hundred thousand taels of silver are enough to offset the sword you gave him originally, so don't It’s going to embarrass others.”

Zhou Liang on the side handed a stack of banknotes to Xuanyuan Xueluo.

"Bai Yunfei, let me ask you one last time, can you help me this time?"

Xuanyuan Xueluo slapped Zhou Liang's hand away and stared at Bai Yunfei.

Everyone can see that Xuanyuan Xueluo must have a good impression of Bai Yunfei.

"Miss Xueluo, I can't help you with this, please forgive me."

Bai Yunfei bowed his hand to Xuanyuan Xueluo apologetically.

Xuanyuan Xueluo was silent for a moment, then grabbed the stack of banknotes in Zhou Liang's hand, then turned around and left without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Xu Taiping and Mr. Zhang immediately came forward to greet him.

Although they knew that Xuanyuan Xueluo was not in a very good mood at the moment, they still had to think of some way to send Xuanyuan Xueluo back to their house in advance.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

But before Xu Taiping and Mr. Zhang could speak, a burst of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded at the entrance of the gambling house.

Soon, an old man dressed as a housekeeper walked quickly to Xuanyuan Xueluo and said to Xuanyuan Xueluo eagerly:

"Miss Xueluo, the second lady asked me to ask you to return home quickly. It's urgent!"

"Second sister, is there something urgent for me?"

Hearing the old man's words, Xuanyuan Xueluo's eyes, which were originally dull, suddenly lit up.

"Yes, Miss Third, please go back with me quickly."

The old man nodded repeatedly.

"Mr. Zhang, Rusty Lion, you follow me..."

"Third Miss, the situation is urgent. Second Miss asked me to take you back only!"

Xuanyuan Xueluo was about to call Xu Taiping and Mr. Zhang, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old man.

Seeing the old man's anxious tone, Xuanyuan Xueluo nodded, then turned to Xu Taiping and Zhang Lao and said:

"You have nothing to do today. Just go back to your house before evening."

"Okay Miss Xueluo."

Xu Taiping and Mr. Zhang handed over their hands one after another.

It was only when Xuanyuan Xueluo turned around and walked quickly towards the carriage parked at the door with the old man that the two of them looked at each other.

Then I heard Mr. Zhang transmitting a message to Xu Taiping:

"Sir, this doesn't seem like a coincidence."

"I don't think so either."

Xu Taiping stared at Xuanyuan Xueluo's back intently, and at the same time, he sent a message to Mr. Zhang in his heart:

"It seems that many forces in this town are already aware of the murder plan laid out by the demon cultivator against us."

Mr. Zhang nodded, then put his hands behind his back, and walked side by side with Xu Taiping towards the door, while continuing to transmit messages to Xu Taiping in his heart:

"I remember that in this Xuanhuang Tower, many dignitaries like to view the fighting between strangers as a trick. Maybe there are already dignitaries who are eagerly waiting for the demon cultivator to hunt us."

"Do the local dignitaries in Xuanhuang Tower still have such preferences?" Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

"For these powerful people, there is no difference between strangers and exotic animals." Mr. Zhang nodded.

While talking, the two of them had already walked out of the gambling house.

Zhou Liang, who was in the gambling den, looked at the backs of Xu Taiping and Mr. Zhang walking towards Peach Blossom Lane from a distance, and suddenly the corner of his mouth slightly raised:

"Stranger, no matter how lucky you are, you will never be able to escape this time. After all, those people are the ghost cultivators of the Moon Worship Pavilion that even the people in the ghost side are afraid of."

…

"Second sister, what happened? You have to call me back in such a hurry."

Xuanyuan Xueluo, who returned to her residence, quickly walked into her second sister's study.

"Xueluo, do you know the identities of the guards you found?"

The second sister asked Xuanyuan Xueluo straight to the point.

"It's... they are some strangers who have just arrived in the town. What's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Xueluo hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.

"Then do you know who they offended before they came to Seven Sages Town?"

The second sister asked again.

"This...how do I know this?"

Xuanyuan Xueluo's heart tightened upon hearing this, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Sister, who did they offend? Stop showing off!"

She walked up to the second sister's desk.

"See for yourself."

The second sister pushed a spiritual mirror in front of Xuanyuan Xueluo.

In the picture shown in the spiritual mirror at this moment, a young man holding a knife and a white-haired old man with his hands in his sleeves were walking side by side towards the alley ahead.

"Mr. Zhang? Rusty Lion?"

Xuanyuan Xueluo recognized the two of them at a glance.

Then, her eyes followed the two of them into the alley ahead.

The moment he entered the alley, the picture in the spiritual mirror suddenly went dark.

In her impression, Peach Blossom Alley, which had been brightly lit all year round, was now hung with white lanterns, and blood-colored threads like spider silk were densely wrapped around the entire Peach Blossom Alley.

And among these random spider threads, more than a dozen huge spider pupae are vaguely visible.

"This...is this the Ghost Spider Formation of Moon Worship Pavilion?!"

Xuanyuan Xueluo exclaimed in surprise.

"What did these two people do to allow Moon Worship Pavilion to use the Ghost Spider Array?"

She looked at the second sister beside her with a somewhat panicked expression.

"More than just the Ghost Spider Formation?"

The second sister shook her head helplessly, then picked up a piece of white paper with a blood claw pattern on it from the table, shook her head at Xuanyuan Xueluo and said, "This is the blood hand order sent by the Baiyue Pavilion this morning, specifying that those foreigners must be killed."
